Does anyone know which desktop versions of SuSE, if any, support or will work on P4 machines with Hyperthreading enabled?
Was trying to install 8.1 Pro on an IntelD865GBFL w/HT enabled and though it would boot from the CD, it could not mount the CD for install, nor could it identify any IDE devices at all.
Suspecting it is the HT, can anyone confirm/deny or shed light on it? The hardware DB states nothing remarkable either way about the Intel D865G board/chip.
Which kernel (2.4.?) supports P4 Hyperthreading?
The 8.1 default kernel (2.4.18, wasn't it?) supports hyperthreading, though I've only tried that with Xeons. I've used and am using 8.2 with Dell GX270 (865G chipset, P4), and hyperthreading switched on - no problem. Comes up as a dual CPU system with an SMP-enabled kernel. Any error messages, any more data on hardware? Bjørn -- Bjørn Tore Sund Phone: (+47) 555-84894 Stupidity is like a System administrator Fax: (+47) 555-89672 fractal; universal and Math.
